Glover Park Sour

Flavor profile

High-rye crackle, amaro-tinged body, and egg white for silk — a steakhouse sour that is not just sugar and lemon.

Our take

Mac’s is not billing itself as a cocktail bar first — the sour is a flex move that holds up. The Averna split is smart: a touch of cola-herb without going full amaro on the label.

The square outside is a couple blocks away, but the drink feels like a walk after a show — a little old-school, a little showy, still balanced.

Ingredients

• High-rye bourbon
• Lemon
• Averna (split sweet)
• Egg white
• Orange bitters

Pairing recommendations

• Pork tomahawk and pan juices — the drink’s amaro line meets roasted fat.
• Baked brie and jam as a pre-steak bridge — a little sweet, not a ton.
